Benefits of technology

The invention is a window cleaning robot for high-rise buildings that solves the problems of traditional window cleaning techniques. It eliminates the need for humans on the robot, making it an automated solution. The robot uses artificial intelligence and high-technology computer-aided control to manage its cleaning tasks. It uses ultrasonic sensors to control its speed and direction, and to adjust its distance from the building surface for optimal cleaning. The robot is also equipped with sensors to monitor wind speed and adjust its operation accordingly, to ensure safe cleaning. Overall, the invention is a revolutionary solution for window and facade cleaning in high-rise buildings.

Problems solved by technology

However, these methods are quite time-consuming and costly.
Crane: If the building is not very high, cleaning is performed by means of a mobile crane; nevertheless, human factor is essential in this method as well, and also it is not much preferred due to the work safety and cleaning costs.
Cleaning supplies lack continuity.
This machine is not convenient for use in high-rise buildings and it has to be used by at least two people.

Embodiment Construction

[0079]The window cleaning robot according to the invention is a cleaning robot used in window and facade cleaning operations without requiring human factor which senses such projections as frames, moldings, composite coating materials, etc. on the facades by means of the sensors disposed thereon and which is controlled by artificial intelligence that enables it to adjust the positions of the cleaning brushes in a way to contact with the glass surface evenly.

[0080]FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 show perspective views from different angles and also in closed position, along with the part reference numerals. The facade cleaning robot for high-rise buildings comprises a robot chassis (1) made of titanium profile, balloon wheels (2) which are coated with silicone anti-skid socks and step on the glass surface, a moveable wheel mechanism (3) adjusting the distance between the robot and the surface to be cleaned, an encoder (4) transferring the up and down, speed and direction information of the robot t...

Abstract

The window cleaning robot according to the invention has an artificial intelligence-controlled moveable washing system which senses such projections as frames, moldings, composite coating materials, etc. on the facades by means of the sensors disposed thereon and which adjusts the positions of the cleaning brushes in a way to contact with the glass surface evenly. It makes the facade cleaning in high-rise buildings safer with the fans adjusting the axial thrust force according to the speed and direction of the wind in a way not to detach from the surface to be cleaned. It allows saving on time, labor force, and costs in facade cleaning. The robot permits performing the cleaning in glass surfaces and facades in a safe manner eliminating the requirement of human factor.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The product according to the invention relates to an automated facade cleaning robot which eliminates human factor at the point of cleaning during facade and window cleaning in high-rise buildings, which is able to sense its surrounding thanks to the high technology sensors thereof, and which makes facade cleaning safer and more professional with its artificial intelligence capable of adjusting to the environment conditions.STATE OF THE ART[0002]Nowadays, various methods are used for performing facade and window cleaning in high-rise buildings. Some of them are as follows;[0003]Climbers: It is the system in which a team of climbers perform the cleaning process by suspending from the roof of the building using a rope. In this system, human is the most efficient factor. There exist different cleaning methods in terms of supplying detergent, water, etc. during cleaning. However, these methods are quite time-consuming and costly.[0004]Crane: If the building is not v...
